Wretch 32 releases video for new single ‘Doing OK’ (UK)

2 min read
Due for release on August 25th, Doing OK feat. Jacob Banks is the second single from Wretch 32’s forthcoming third studio album. With the airwaves and festival fields already warmed up following his top 10 hit ‘Blackout’ and stellar live performances atRadio 1’s Big Weekend and Park Life already under his belt, Wretch’s sounds are without a doubt the soundtrack to this summer.
 .
True to form, Doing OK once again sees Wretch showing his support for new home-grown talent as he calls on the dulcet tones of Birmingham’s finest, Jacob Banks who recently supported Alicia Keys on her UK tour. Bank’s velvety vocal melts over a flowing piano melody that is blanketed by the sound of a rolling snare drum cushioned with a cruising bass line and soaring tribal vocal sounds that set the scene of rolling African plains.
 .
Last month Wretch announced he will be taking his critically acclaimed live show on the road for a 9-date UK headline tour, kicking off in Manchester and finishing on his home turf in London.  Prior to his headline tour in October, Wretch will be hotting up the festival circuit with live performances at Wireless, Reading, Leeds, Oxygen and Isle of Man Festival to name a few.
